Fall Paintchip Garland

I, ahem, collected a few paint chip samples from my local hardware store. I chose gorgeous fall colors- burnt orange, creamy white and chocolate brown- and mixed them with a pop of an unexpected pink. I think the pink brings in a touch of modern sass to the decor.

(the shame! a crappy iPhone pic... I was too lazy to get out my new camera)

I used my handy Fiskars circle punch (I've got two sizes) to cut out the circles from the chips.

[Psst! I noticed in my local ad that these are 30% off at JoAnns right now!]

Grab some clear fishing wire + Scotch tape and BOOM. You've got yourself a fun fall garland. I decided to hang mine in the breakfast are of my kitchen. The game plan is to spruce up the table with a pretty fall centerpiece to complement the garland. And hopefully, once the leaves begin to change outside, they'll peek through the windows and add even more fall beautimousness.

Up close and personal.

This could actually be a fun project for a kids room or party decor.

I'm really loving the random splash of hot pink I threw in there, mixed with the traditional fall colors.

Whatcha think? Will you be running to the paint department with a large purse anytime soon?!

Lord knows I have enough paint chips to decorate my whole house in a fall garland!!!! Great idea! I'm also loving paint chip art I've spied on pinterest.....so many creative minds out here in blogland!

I made a similar rainbow garland for my daughter's 1st birthday party. Didn't use paint chips (it would have been A LOT to swipe since I used 10 colors and made over 80 feet) and I sewed mine together. Check it out!

Beautiful. I love the colors! I want to make one of these for my daughter's room. I would love it if you would stop by and share at the link party going on right now at Lines Across My Face. I hope to see you soon,Rachelhttp://linesacrossmyface.blogspot.com/2011/09/cure-for-common-monday-9.html
